Lucia Cervi

Dr Lucia Cervi is Lecturer in Human Resource Management/Employment Relations at the Business School. She is an interdisciplinary academic involved in corporate responsibility and the socio-political dynamics surrounding organisations and organised life. Lucia's research currently focusses on three streams:

• The role played by organisations in shaping the exercise of reproductive rights, with a specific focus on infertility and the UK fertility treatment sector in particular
• The social and organisational implications of digitalisation, such as the changing shape of trust within blockchain technology and the emerging digital vulnerabilities surrounding FinTech
• The politico-historical implications of big tech practices.

Lucia's research is taking an increasingly interdisciplinary trajectory, and intertwining with research collaborators in law, human-computing interaction, and machine learning among others. Lucia's publications include:

• Fertility treatment and organizational discourses of the female non-reproductive body (in the Gender, Work and Organization Journal)
• Life Inc: Shaping the unforeseeable (in A handbook for the critical analysis of organisations, work and technology, Bristol University Press)
• Organising male infertility: Masculinities and fertility treatment (in the Gender, Work and Organization Journal)
• The Fertility Show as a Field-Configuring Event: A Critical Discourse Analysis (Doctoral Thesis).
